Australian in U.S. on baseball scholarship murdered by teens because they were bored

Soygen confirmed cuckold

I call them thugs. But whatever.

The horn of White Guilt has been blown!

Apologists gather in the valley!

This is where this type of argument gets really convoluted. You're trying to cry hypocrisy because this story about this shooting got a thread on the general forums but the other article did not. Yet to make that case you have to ignore the literally thousands of black on white crimes that never make the national news yearly while simultaneously forgetting how the entire Trayvon Martin and Duke LaCrosse cases, to just point out two quick examples, came to national attention and how wide spread disinformation and intentional misinformation is spread about those cases in order to cry racist on one party or another.

Ther story you point out did in fact have some conversation in one of these threads, I can't remember which one now, but obviously it wasn't as interesting a story, though equally deplorable yes, or it would still be an issue.

You're basically completely ignoring the context of why stories like the one that this thread began with are being pointed to in the first place, which is because typically the media ignores these stories, or if it reports on them at all, its for a day or two and then it disappears until maybe there's a trial. Yet cases like the Trayvon Martin shooting get turned into these massive political issues where everyone needs to "have a conversation" about how to "resolve out latent racism in this society" every time a black person gets shot by a white person, whether legally justified or not, while black on black and black on white crimes go endlessly ignored and not reported on in the media.

As the Time article I posted said very saliently

And recent example illustrates how many blacks feel about who is murdering whom. Two weeks ago, an NYPD cop killed 14-year-old Shaaliver Douse. Douse was in the process of shooting other people, and had been charged with shooting someone else in May - and yet his aunt compared him to Martin. In her mind, the main sin was the white cop's.

For the time being, though, it's time for the media to stop proudly emblazoning the race of white cops who kill black boys while cagily describing black teens as, say, "from the grittier part of town," as has been the case regarding Lane's killers. The media needs to be as honest with black people as we need to be with ourselves. No group gets ahead by turning away from its real problems.

You're essentially trying to call us hypocrits and racists for pointing out hypocrisy and racism in others. Its a defense mechanism for people so ingrained with political correctness that they can't see the forests for the trees anymore.

Let me just say one more thing, you assert that the reason this article is here is so people can mock blacks, but the real reason this story has gotten attention here, and nationally, is in part because after the Martin trial, and videos like this being produced that are full of blatant lies and distortions about the case



people are finally beginning to see how the media manipulates public opinion to continue to divide this nation racially and ultimately to harm the African American communities by constantly excusing thug culture and behavior as acceptable outcomes or results of past racial divisions, rather than focusing on fixing the actual problems such as broken homes and access to quality educations that continue a cycle of poverty and thus violence that continues to decimate the black communities across this nation on a daily basis.

Wrong again.

I'm not apologizing for asshole activists on the Black side who place undue weight on a news story, play the race card and create national media attention. I'm talking about forum postershere. Al Sharpton's deplorable actions don't forgive a counter response from the opposite side.

Its not posters on this forum's responsibility or job to make every thread 100% equal and fair to everyone all the time.

Here's my point----------------------------------------------------


Here's your head ---------------------------------------------------

Its pretty clear that my point was that its not the posters you're trying to "Call out" in this thread's responsibility to be 100% fair and equal about every news story that makes national headlines.

We've had plenty of "trying to call people out on racism" in the Zimmerman thread, go have a read of that to see how well it went for them.

There's nothing racist about pointing out that thug culture killed a foreigner on our soil, thus leading to Australia to call for boycotts on American tourism, among other things. Its racist to ignore the hate crime aspects of these events because blacks magically can't commit hate crimes and can't be racist simply because of the color of their skin.

Do me a favor. Google "black on white murder" and take a looksie at how many google hits you get back

Then google "white on black murder" take a looksie at how many google hits you get back (last I checked it was 29 million versus 200,000)

Then realize that the racism in this issue is ignoring what would be classified immediately as hate crimes and as symptoms of our evil racist heritage if a white person committed them on a black person.

Here's a recent one for you. Three black kids beat a white kid on the bus because he was going to "tell" on them for trying to sell him drugs at school.

Was it racist for posters on this forum to not make a thread about it? Because they didn't. Was it racist when no thread was made back on FOH for this story:

Your argument is without a point, you're seeing racism where none exists, trying to get up on that same high horse Duppin, Numbers and others got on in the Martin threads, and then ignoring the actual racism in the situation in the process.
